NAME

6       sdt - DTrace statically defined tracing provider
7

DESCRIPTION

9       The  sdt  driver  is  a  DTrace  dynamic tracing provider that performs
10       dynamic instrumentation at statically-defined locations in the  Solaris
11       kernel.
12
13
14       The  sdt  provider allows kernel developers to explicitly create probes
15       at formally designated locations in the  operating  system  kernel  and
16       loadable  modules,  allowing  the implementor to consciously choose the
17       points in their code that are desired probe points, and to convey  some
18       semantic knowledge about that point with the choice of probe name and a
19       relevant set of arguments.
20
21
22       The sdt driver is not a public interface and you access instrumentation
23       offered  by  this provider through DTrace. Refer to the Solaris Dynamic
24       Tracing Guide for a description of  the  public  documented  interfaces
25       available  for  the  DTrace  facility and the probes offered by the sdt
26       provider.
